- 8.96 A business manager wants to provide a wider range of p- and n-type semiconductors as a strategy to enhance sales. You are the lead materials engineer assigned to communicate with this manager. How would you explain why there are more ways to build a p-type semiconductor from silicon than there are ways to build an n-type semiconductor from silicon?arrow_forwardIndicate which of the following statements are true with regard to semiconductors. (a) elemental semiconductors are made of metalloids (b) semiconductors have a band gap that is greater than 3.5 eV (c) doping a semiconductor with a few ppm of a p block element increases the conductivity of that material by a million fold (d) compound semiconductors must contain at least one metalloid elementarrow_forwardCarbon exists as several allotropes including buckminsterfullerene and carbonnanotubes. All are composed of pure carbon, but their materials properties differdramatically due to the different arrangements of atoms in their structures. Name TWO(2) other allotropes and compare both of them in terms of:i) crystal structure with a suitable diagram.ii) electrical propertiesarrow_forward
- (a) What change occurs when AgCl is doped with CdCl2?(b) What type of semiconductor is produced when silicon is doped with boron?arrow_forwardSome oxide superconductors adopt a crystal structure similar to that of perovskite (CaTiO3). The unit cell is cubic with a Ti4+ ion in each corner, a Ca2+ ion in the body center, and O2- ions at the midpoint of each edge. (a) Is this unit cell simple, body-centered, or face-centered? (b) If the unit cell edge length is 3.84 Å, what is the density of perovskite (in g/cm3)?arrow_forwardClassify as n-type or p-type a semiconductor formed by doping (a) germanium with phosphorus, (b) germanium with indium.arrow_forward
- What are n-type semiconductors?arrow_forwardThe gap between valence and conduction bands in diamond is 5.47 eV. (a) What is the maximum wavelength of a photon that can excite an electron from the top of the valence band into the conduction band? In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum does this photon lie? (b) Explain why pure diamond is transparent and colorless.arrow_forward12. Which one of the following statements is INCORRECT: (A) X-ray crystallography can give the three-dimensional arrangement of all the atoms in a molecule The ratio of the two main isotopes of Cl (chlorine) is about 3:1 (B) (C) The index of hydrogen deficiency (IDH) for C5H8O is 4. (D) Generally speaking, the longer the wavelength of the UV-Vis spectrum maximum (2max), the more conjugated the molecule is. The energy of photons used in UV-Vis spectroscopy is much higher than those used in NMR spectroscopy. (E)arrow_forward
